The Tree of Life Blu-ray announced and detailed

By Brenden ⋅ September 6, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Terrence Malick’s The Tree of Life has finally been officially announced for release on Blu-ray. As I reported a few weeks ago, eOne has got the Canadian release while the US version will come from Fox. The Canadian pre-order ship date listed on Amazon.ca has been pushed back a couple of weeks from the previously published September 27th to October 11th, to match the US. The Blu-ray is fairly bare-bones, including only a 30-minute “making of” doc but is reported to utilize “maximum bit rate encoding and 7.1 audio and a 2.0 stereo mix to bring Malick’s visually stunning masterpiece to life providing consumers with a premium cinematic viewing experience for the home.” Sounds good to me! I can’t wait to get my hands on this one. …Continued…

The Tree of Life coming to Blu-ray September 27 in Canada

I haven’t been sent a press release for this yet but I noticed a few days ago that Amazon.ca has a preorder for the September 27th release of The Tree of Life on Blu-ray from eOne Films. This is huge news as there hasn’t been a hint of any sort of home video release for the title as yet. Even still, I’m not sure where the film will end up in the US – will it be a Fox release or will Criterion license the film so that it might live beside the other Terrence Malick releases in their library? Only time will tell. …Continued…

Kalifornia Blu-ray Disc Review

By Chris ⋅ August 15, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Most Montrealers remember Kalifornia for the way it swept through town in ’93 by winning Best Artistic Contribution at that year’s Montréal World Film Festival. But you wordly Interneters most likely remember a young Brad Pitt crackering it out in director Dominic Sena’s (Whiteout, Gone in Sixty Seconds and most famously for convincing Halle Berry to show us her hooters in Swordfish) big screen debut. …Continued…

David Fincher's Seven coming to Blu-ray

By Brenden ⋅ May 19, 2010 ⋅ One comment

Here in Canada, we’ve had David Fincher’s brilliant Seven on Blu-ray for a little while now. Sadly, it was authored with the incorrect aspect ratio (1.78:1 instead of the original 2.35:1) and in the less-than-acceptable 1080i. Being an unabashed fan of the film and of the director, I was happy to see that Warner/New Line is preparing a new Digibook edition of the Blu-ray, set for release this coming September. Details below: …Continued…
